The Project work constitutes a major component in most professional programmes. It needs to be
carried out with due care, and should be executed with seriousness by the students. The project
work is not only a partial fulfilment of the MCA requirements, but also provide a mechanism to
demonstrate your skills, abilities and specialisation. The project work should compulsorily
include the software development.

Learners are advised to attach with an organization to develop the software project for any
problem of that organization.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the project is to help the student develop the ability to apply theoretical
and practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry, academic
institutions and research laboratories.

II TYPE OF THE PROJECT AND ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA OF THE

PROJECT GUIDE

Type of the Project

The majority of the students are expected to work on a real-life project preferably in some
industry/ Research and Development Laboratories/Educational Institution/Software Company.
Students are encouraged to work in the areas listed at the end. However, it is not mandatory for a
student to work on a real-life project. The student can formulate a project problem with the help
of her/his Guide.

documentation should be done, like, how you have done the analysis, design, coding,
use of testing techniques/strategies, etc., in respect of your project. To be more
specific, whatever the theory in respect of these topics is available in the reference books
should be avoided as far as possible. The project documentation should be in respect
of your project only. The project documentation should include the topics given below.
Each and every component shown below carries certain weight age in the project report
evaluation.

2. The project report should normally be printed with single line spacing on A4 paper (one
side only). All the pages, tables and figures must be numbered. Tables and figures should
contain titles.
3. Only one copy of the original project report in the bound form along with the
